Description

640 × 512 / 8 μm / <3.5 g

Ultra-small, ultra-light LWIR imaging for space-constrained OEM systems.

CAMCUDA SuperMini 640 / 640T combines a 640 × 512 uncooled VOx detector, an 8 μm pixel pitch and a 13 × 13 mm footprint in a core weighing less than 3.5 g. The series is designed for low-SWaP integration in compact drones, micro-gimbals, FPV platforms and embedded thermal imaging systems.

Power, Video & Control

Confirm every rail and output mode with the host design.

The core uses a Hirose DF40C-30DP-0.4V(51) 30-pin connector. BT656 and MIPI are available only through this interface and cannot be used simultaneously.

640T Thermography Only

Temperature data with clearly defined limits.

CAMCUDA SuperMini 640T supports temperature measurement from −20°C to +150°C and from 100°C to +650°C. Typical accuracy is ±2°C or ±2% of reading at an ambient temperature of −20°C to +60°C.

CDS3 transmits YUV422 image data and temperature data. MIPI CSI-2 uses RAW8 packets that the host combines into 16-bit image and temperature values, low byte first.

CAMCUDA SuperMini 640 rear connector interface
Host-side parsing, calibration workflow and the exact production interface must be validated with the selected 640T configuration.

OEM Validation

Lock the model, lens and interface before volume production.

  1. 01Select

    Choose 640 imaging or 640T thermography, then select the lens.

  2. 02Confirm

    Review rails, connector, video protocol, cable and mechanical drawing.

  3. 03Validate

    Bench-test image output, controls, power, thermal path and host parsing.

  4. 04Scale

    Freeze the approved BOM, firmware, optics and document revision.

Engineering reference · Product Manual V1.0.0

Plan the power budget and host video receiver.

The following details come from the supplied English product manual, January 2026 edition. Values apply to the bare core unless an expansion board is explicitly named.

Power-rail current and startup requirements

Rail Peak current Typical steady current Noise limit
MAIN_POWER 200 mA 80 mA 10 mV p-p
+3.3 V 100 mA 20 mA 10 mV p-p
+1.8 V 100 mA 35 mA 1 mV RMS, 1 Hz–50 kHz

Steady currents are reference values at 25 °C. The manual specifies t1, t2 and t3 each greater than 200 μs; use its power-on timing definition when designing the supply sequence. A startup-time specification is not provided. Wait more than 5 seconds after power-off before restarting.

Choose the receiver for the selected output mode

Path Published format Host integration
8-bit LVCMOS 45 MHz; progressive RAW image; 640 × 512 Clock, line/frame synchronization and 8 data bits; pseudocolor is not supported on LVCMOS.
CDS3 · 640T only 45 MHz; YUV422 image plus temperature data Section 3.3.3 describes embedded SAV/EAV synchronization using one clock and 8 data lines. Temperature words are low byte first.
2-lane MIPI 216 Mbps per lane; 108 MHz clock lane; specified high level 1.2 V One differential clock pair and two differential data pairs. BT656 and MIPI cannot operate simultaneously.

640T MIPI capture: configure RAW8 CSI-2 reception as (1280 × 2) × 512. Reassemble adjacent bytes, low byte first, into 1280 × 512 16-bit values. Each valid line contains 640 image words followed by 640 temperature words. The detector remains 640 × 512; the larger receive layout carries both image and temperature data.

Synchronization note: the manual’s summary table and detailed CDS3 timing text describe synchronization differently. Confirm the actual firmware timing with the interface documentation before implementing the receiver.

640T temperature conversion

Appendix 2 gives the following conversion rules for the thermographic 640T only. Select the formula for the actual ND or HD output mode; do not infer the mode from the numerical value.

ND mode

T = (TEMP + 7000) / 30 − 273.2

HD mode

T = (TEMP − 4600) / 10 − 273.2

T is temperature in °C after converting the received TEMP value. These formulas do not apply to imaging-only CAMCUDA SuperMini 640 and do not extend the published measurement ranges or accuracy conditions.

Connector, accessories and handling

  • IR_SYNC is the 1.8 V external-trigger input on pin 23; UART_RX/TX are pins 25/27, referenced to the core. Use the complete pin table for mating orientation and wiring.
  • The optional TMS6102V100F022 4-pin USB board supports both variants and uses 5 V USB_VBUS. The separately described 5-pin analog board accepts 5–20 V; this is not the bare-core input range.
  • Manual vibration reference: 2 g random, 3 axes / 6 directions. Shock reference: 6 g, 2 ms terminal-peak sawtooth, 3 axes / 6 directions.
  • Disconnect power before mating cables, take ESD precautions, keep the detector window untouched and avoid pointing the core at the sun or other intense radiation sources.

Read the complete V1.0.0 manual

Reference sections: 3.1–3.5 for interfaces and power, section 5 for handling, and Appendix 2 for temperature conversion. Mechanical dimensions depend on the lens and expansion-board assembly.

FAQ

Questions before requesting a CAMCUDA SuperMini 640 sample.

What is the difference between CAMCUDA SuperMini 640 and 640T?

CAMCUDA SuperMini 640 is an imaging-only 50 Hz model without temperature measurement. CAMCUDA SuperMini 640T is a 30 Hz thermographic model that outputs image and temperature data and supports the published measurement ranges.

Does the assembled camera remain 13 × 13 × 13.4 mm and under 3.5 g?

No. Those figures apply to the core module only and exclude the lens, flange and expansion board. Request the mechanical drawing for the exact optical and interface configuration.

Can BT656 and MIPI be used at the same time?

No. The product manual states that BT656 and MIPI cannot be used simultaneously. Confirm the required output path before ordering.

Which lens options are specified?

The supplied manual specifies 3.7 mm, 6.1 mm, 8.7 mm and 11 mm F1.0 athermal lenses, with the field-of-view and IFOV values shown above.

Does the module operate from one 5 V supply?

The bare core requires MAIN_POWER plus regulated 3.3 V and 1.8 V rails with the published sequencing and noise limits. The optional USB expansion board uses 5 V USB_VBUS.

What should be included in the RFQ?

Send the model, lens, required video interface, host platform, quantity, destination, target schedule and required drawing, SDK or compliance documents.
